I looked at this and no matter the container's size, once it is unsecured, and gravity turned off in the CG-bay (If looting one presumes the Pirates have control of the vessel), the loaded dton mass becomes a moot issue, so the time factor is the key issue here. Having been the Unit Movement Officer...

I admit, my interest stems from having a Player-character with a 30dton Ship's Boat as his inheritance, and working his passage across the stars as a passenger and freight ferryman, and "working a system" until he had passage or opportunity to move with his vessel along the subsector's trade routes....

Thank you verymuch Mr. Chase! I very much like the idea of the Double JG's (paired, and x2 the parsecs) especially. Keeping the Jump time OTU length (6days +/- 12hours) as a constant seems fair enough. I would ask how much (yes the crunchy details) do they (the system owners of the Jump Gate(s) )cha...

IMTU jump gates are simply used to create a bubble for ships without them needing to use their own fuel or jump engines. In all other respects they follow the Traveller rules. Only one jump gate is needed for a one way trip. Fascinating! So, does YTU's JG's have the multi-parsec capability (e;g. Ju...

:arrow: 13 Nov 2159, Mars/ Sol System: "The Outer Veil's Explorer's Expletive , a backwater journal of current clack, shop-talk, starjack adverts, and rumor-mill gives the Spica Press their incongruous/ dubious five-Star rating." NOTE: the last time the EE gave this rating to any such group or corpo...

I think this is one of the best books in the Mongoose Traveller collection! Plenty of idea and adventures to modify or use as is. When I referee, I like to have the options depending on how much time I have. Additionally, it fits so well with the Spinward Marches book while expanding on it. Mr. Var...

A Great Near-Earth setting that cuts new ground, and is closer to a certain line of aforementioned SF films of early Human Interstellar expansion. Excellent job, to both authors, & Spica Publishing for having the stones to publish it.
